Michaels and Derek The FARs do not apply in Australia (except to US registered aircraft).
Read the list of aeroplanes on the CASA web site for which an [Australian] Flight Manual - i.e. the POH produced by the manufacturer - is not required. The PA25 was on that list last time I looked. However for glider towing it dies need an approval page and a supplement detailing weight and runway information for the glider towing role (as a supplement to the approval page). If you have the FAA-approved [old] POH or the former Australian Flight Manual pre-2001, you may use it for guidance but there is no legal requirement to have it and it has no legal standing.

Hi Mike I have heard many people say that Piper did not produce any Flight Manuals, so we do not need to have them aboard. However, I have a copy of an FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual, dated Oct 12 1962, with revisions up to Oct 1970, produced by Piper for the PA-25-235 model. It carries the instruction "This document must be kept in airplane at all times." It seems they lost interest in them after that! It begs the question are all pilots of this model required to have this FM in the aircraft?

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] PA25 Wiring Diagram Michael After many years of looking I have now encountered two Pawnees that seem to be the same - but I wouldn't trust them to have identical electrical systems. The Pawnee does not require a Flight Manual, presumably because, amongst other things, Paper never had to produce a Pilot Operating Handbook for the model. So even of I were to send you the wiring diagram for one Pawnee it probably would not match your Pawnee.
